DSC
Under DSC you have the freedom to configure the X100 to automatically respond to messages, requests, enable or even toggle certain features on or off.
An automated procedure is something that you can configure the X100 to do automatically, like respond to position requests by sending your co-ordinates without any manual input.
These settings allow you to customize how your system handles distress, test messages, position requests, and more, ensuring better management of communications in varying situations.
Below shows you how to adjust the DSC settings.
-
AUTO ACKNOWLEDGE TEST MESSAGES You can configure the X100 to automatically reply to all incoming test messages, so there is no manual input from you.
NON AUTOMATED PROCESS TIMEOUT You can configure a timeout to end any processes that doesn't end automatically like making or receiving a DSC or VHF call
-
NON DISTRESS AUTOMATED PROCESS TIMEOUT You can configure a timeout to end any processes that are not distress related such as group calls.
RX DISTRESS AUTOMATED PROCEDURE TIMEOUT This setting lets you adjust how long the X100 waits before finishing the incoming distress process. A warning message will appear on the screen ten seconds before the timeout is triggered, giving you a heads-up. Once the timeout completes, the distress request process automatically ends.
COMMUNICATIONS AUTOMATED TIMEOUT PROCEDURE This is the time limit set to prevent another process from interrupting the task you are currently performing.
For example, if you are on a DSC call and you receive a position request, you will not receive a notification until the set timeout elapses. You will however have an option to accept and overwrite the timeout or log the call and return to it later.
AUTO CHANNEL CHANGE This lets you configure whether or not the X100 will change to another channel automatically when receiving an incoming call, or request.
-
AUTO ACKNOWLEDGE INDIVIDUAL CALL This lets you choose whether the X100 automatically accepts incoming individual calls or allows you to decide which calls to answer or ignore.
AUTO ACKNOWLEDGE POSITION REQUESTS This setting allows you to enable the X100 to automatically reply, ignore or require a manual response to any incoming position requests with your current co-ordinates.
NMEA SENTENCE OUTPUT This feature allows you to configure the X100 to output NMEA sentences to any connected NMEA-compatible device, such as a chart plotter.
